TUNING: E A D E B e
No capo
This song can also be played in standard tuning using the standard chords and ignoring my finger diagrams,
but it won't have the same fullness.

[Verse 1]
E*
So tell me why
Why you're still here and I'm still here
B
And we're still taking time
A
Out of our busy lives just to fuck around
E*
Spewing words we both could live without
E*
And tell me why
Why you're still here and I'm still here
B
And we're still spending nights
A
Wasting half our lives like fucking clowns
E*
Running around this god forsaken town
[Chorus]
C#m
I think I'll pass on the summer
A
Don't wanna fall for it this time
E
I'm drowning, drowning, drowning down
C#m
And yeah I might miss your mother
A
I fantasize about her sometimes
E
Drowning, drowning, drowning down
B A
There's nothing left to do
B E*
But let the waves crash over you
[Verse 2]
E*
So tell me why
B
If I'm as bad as all those things you call me every night
A
You want me in your life just to drag around
E*
I'm never living up to what you thought you found
Ooh
[Chorus]
C#m
I think I'll pass on the summer
A
Ain't gonna work for me this time
E
I'm drowning, drowning, drowning down
C#m
And yeah I might miss your mother
A
But she knows what's best when you're
E
Drowning, drowning, drowning down
B A
There's nothing left to do
B E
But let the waves crash over you
